25% will be held if you cancel 1 month prior to the event. Anything less than a month we’ll hold the 100%. Far too often we tried to be nice to people, but always ended up getting in trouble ourselves. So we invite you to commit to your choice, we’ll do the rest for you. In any emergency circumstances you can always privately contact us. But these are the ground rules.
Not much, there’s no need to check in extra baggage. Please note that way before time you will get an email and provided a packing list that can easily fit as a cabin luggage. Don’t worry.
This terrain is rugged. Far from what you expect from a ‘stereotype’ retreat. We go back into the elements, back to the basics. Surrounded by ruins, sleeping in tents, comfy tents, a natural toilet, showering in ruins. It will be an experience not to forget and much more cozy and welcoming than you may think.
Besides that there’s a proper kitchen place, where you can always get coffee, drinks and fruits.
There are designated areas for fire, ritual combat, eating, sleeping, showering, toilets.
Yes, that’s the aim. We’re trying to slowly & organically expand to the different areas in the Netherlands. If you have a group of men interested please let us know, so we can always see how to set this up. Also if you’re interested in facilitating yourself in your area for yourself or through us, consider following our “Facilitators Initiation”
For sure brother. We’re used to men showing up alone & feeling warmly received and leaving with a brotherhood afterwards. We definitely encourage you to come alone if you want to come!
For that you can send a direct mail to: hellothere@thegatheringofmen.earth and we look together for possibilities.
For us this is a 100% yes. We’ve had men coming in for many times and decided to host afterwards. Realising that it is a whole different ballgame. Many more factors at play & one of the biggest is yourself. Being a facilitator at a gathering is more complex than a participant/guest for many reasons. We’ll dedicate specific time to this during the course.
For this initiatory journey no. This will provide you a clear overview on creating a structured and organized journey while also holding yourself. To intervene is a next level to the course. For that you need more time & first create a truly safe space.
Possibly. If we feel we’re a good match we can initiate and progress further on working together. This will also serve if you start your own men’s gathering. You can explicitly state after signing up if you want to do it for us and by that time we will assess whether the time is there or not.
There’s a public transport stop literally in front of the terrain. From Amsterdam it will take approx 2 hours and 11 minutes. Our plan is to always carpool! So if you want to join someone let us know!
